- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Crack 8 large eggs directly onto the cheese.
- Gently break the yolks with a fork.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream evenly over the eggs.
- Top with the cooked sausage.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese over the sausage.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
